Today I’m going to show you how to make your own DIY gold foil prints! This post has been in the que since January so here it is. When I was searching for gold foil prints for my home office renovation, I came across this amazing tutorial. It seemed easy enough and trust me, if I can do it – anyone can!
Here are the items you will need:
Step 2:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Amazing, right?! This was my very first attempt to make my own gold foil prints and as you can see in the video below, the bow print was my second. There were a few minor issues with both as you can see some lines on the top of the Chanel logo and a few spots on the bow print but the imperfections make it look vintage-y. This was so much fun and super easy to do!
Here are the items you will need:
2.) gold foil (toner reactive)
3.) black/white prints
4.) scissors
*Tip: turn on your laminator to allow time to pre-heat.
Step 1:
Create your own black and white prints using Photoshop or any free online photo editing program (like PicMonkey) and then simply print it out.
*Tip: make sure to use a toner printer only and NOT an inkjet printer.
Step 2:
Cut enough gold foil to cover the image and smooth out any wrinkles.
*Tip: Make sure the gold foil is facing up towards you. This is extremely important!
Step 3:
Place a blank white piece of paper over the gold foil (like a paper sandwich) as this will hold everything in place.
*Tip: Be sure everything is free of particles, hair and dust or you may end up with spots.
Step 4:
Now carefully insert the paper sandwich into the laminator and let it feed through.
*Tip: Let the paper go all the way through on it’s own – do not pull on the paper.
Step 5:
Peel off the gold foil and voila! You have your final product! If you need a gold frame to put your new prints in, I love these HERE.

Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you
get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your theme. Thanks
